We need entertainment before the long Michigan winter drives us insane...A2 Dopefest!

Excellent! Cecil knows how much we like to corrupt newbies*!

*A great deal.

DAMN YOU, HAMSTERS!

BTW, everyone, be there at 7. Sound good?

What? There is a Toledo Dopefest? How’d I miss that? That’s doable for some of us MI Dopers.

Phatlewt, it’d be wonderful to add a member to the Michigan Mafia.

And Mr. Blue, when will you know whether “might” becomes “Definitely will?” Because (1) we need to reserve the right size table and (2) I wanna know whether to look forward to your arrival or start wallowing in disappointment.

OK, count me in.

Oh, and Kathryn? I could stop on the way if you need a lift.

Beats the mutha-lovin’ poopy outta me. Here’s the (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=157934). It’s just a little lunch thing at Tony Packo’s.

Rick and I will be there, although I am looking forward to the food more than he is. Only for a dopefest will he brave ethnic food. :slight_smile:

Does anyone happen to know if they have anything other than Ethiopian food on the menu? [sub]Hey, he’s British. He can’t help it.[/sub]

No, just ethiopian food. If he panics, though, there is a perfectly good brewpub just across the street. He can fish-n-chip to his heart’s content. :slight_smile:

Although phatlewt is a SDMB n00b, he is known to several of you IRL.

Phatlewt is not so lame as to speak of himself in the third person. I wrote the above. Whoopsie!

If anyone doesn’t mind a brief sidetrip to a Columbus, OH horse warehouse sale, I’ll probably go to the Toledo minifest on the way home. I’d welcome the company.

I’M SO JEALOUS, YOU GUYS!!! I live WAY up in northern lower Michigan. Can’t we just all meet at my house? :slight_smile:

We could carpool.

What time on Friday? That’s tomorrow, right?

oooh, is Phatlewt that hot guy I had breakfast with three weeks ago?

mmmmmmaybe.

If I had a car… oh man.

Say, anybody have directions to this place?

(And no, “head south and hang a left when you hit Egypt” is not the kind of directions I have in mind.)

Mrblue, I can’t remember… where are you coming from (what highway)?

From 23/14 Westbound, get off at the 2nd Ann Arbor exit (Main Street). Turn right off the exit to follow Main Street south. Continue on Main street – you will enter the downtown area. Turn left on Washington Street. Park in the parking structure. Walk 1 block East (uphill) further up Washington till you see the restaurant on the left-hand side of the street.

Ug! Yellowpages.com will give you a map.

mrblue Lemme ask my parents how annoyed they’d be if I ditched out tonight. Alphie kidnapped me last night so they might be touchy. I’ll call you.

Shyguy, it’s right downtown. Not hard to get to from campus or via public transportation. And I suspect someone would give you a ride home afterwards.

Kyla is carless, too.
